Chapter 137 What do you think?

Prince Shu's Mansion.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was strange and a bit scary.

When Yuan Ziming said the words 'ninth-five position', the temperature in the conference hall immediately dropped to freezing point.

King Zhou Zhi of Shu stood up and stared at Yuan Ziming. The innate royal aura from his body spread out and overwhelmed the entire meeting hall.

From the moment he learned that Yuan Ziming and three other aristocratic families came together, and was careful not to let a fifth person be present, Zhou Zhi knew that Yuan Ziming and the others' purpose in asking to see him, the King of Shu, must be extraordinary.

The things we want to talk about are definitely not ordinary things.

But I didn't expect it to be so extraordinary.

Ninety-five position?

Fortunately, the eldest son of the Yuan family dared to say so.

Isn't it that the eldest son of the Yuan family is afraid that he, the king of Shu, will directly capture the three of them because of his treason?

Facing Zhou Zhi's sharp eyes like an eagle and the royal aura suddenly exuding from his body, Yuan Ziming, Zheng Wangzhi, Fan Shao and the three of them immediately felt a sense of depression in their hearts.

However, after all, the three of them are from the seven great families and have experienced the world for a long time.

The skill of nourishing qi and calming it is not ordinary.

Although Yuan Ziming and the three of them felt very depressed in their hearts, they were always as calm as water on the surface.

"Master Yuan, for the sake of the Yuan family in Runan, I only see you."

"But you said such treacherous words in front of me. Where do you put me?"

"If Young Master Yuan cannot explain this clearly today, then don't blame me for being rude.

"Even if the three of you are from the seven great aristocratic families, you can't even think of leaving this King's Palace of Shu today."

Zhou Zhi put away his momentum and sat down again.

Zhou Zhi looked at Yuan Ziming and the three of them coldly and said without any emotion.

Zhou Zhi didn't know what Yuan Ziming and the others meant by saying this.

But no matter what the intentions of Yuan Ziming and others were, Zhou Zhi, as the king of Shu, must show the normal reaction that a king of Shu should have.

If Yuan Ziming and the others could not explain clearly their treasonous remarks, then Zhou Zhi would really have no choice but to leave these three people in the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

Regarding Zhou Zhi's bluff, Yuan Ziming and the three of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly in their hearts.

King Zhou Zhi of Shu did not capture them immediately after hearing those few words. This is enough to explain a lot of problems.

It also symbolizes that the purpose of their trip has been half successful.

Yuan Ziming looked at Zhou Zhi on the throne and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, I know this is a bit rebellious."

"But the three of us traveled thousands of miles to see the prince. It was for the sake of the stability of the great Zhou Dynasty that we had to say such disobedient words to the prince."

"Please, Your Majesty, please listen to us."

…

Half a day later.

Yuan Ziming, Zheng Wangzhi, Fan Shao and the other three said goodbye to King Zhou Zhi of Shu and left the palace of King Shu.

No one knows what exactly Yuan Ziming and the three of them said to the King of Shu.

But the result was that Yuan Ziming and the three of them completely left the Shu Palace.

Still, he left the Shu Palace with the smiling face of the housekeeper of the Shu Palace.

Obviously, Yuan Ziming and the three of them had a good discussion with the King of Shu.

After Yuan Ziming and the other three left, Zhou Zhi sat in the main seat of the meeting hall, his eyes flickering somewhat erratically.

"What do you think?"

Zhou Zhi asked inexplicably.

"How does Your Majesty want me to see it?"

The middle-aged scribe who had left the meeting hall before came out from the side.

It was obvious that this middle-aged scribe also heard the conversation between Yuan Ziming and the three of them and the King of Shu Zhou Zhi just now.

Yuan Ziming and the three of them thought that no fifth person would hear their conversation with the King of Shu, but little did they know that this middle-aged scribe had always been at the back of the meeting hall and had not left far.

"You heard what the three of them just said. How feasible do you think it is?"

Zhou Zhi looked at the middle-aged scribe.

This middle-aged scribe is Zhou Zhi's think tank and the right-hand man Zhou Zhi relies on most.

Therefore, Zhou Zhi would not hide anything from this middle-aged scribe.

Just like what Yuan Ziming and the others discussed with him just now, Zhou Zhi did not hide it from the middle-aged scribe.

Zhou Zhi wanted to hear what his right-hand man thought of what Yuan Ziming and the others said.

The middle-aged scribe pondered for a moment and said conservatively, "Fifty percent."

"Why so low?" A trace of surprise flashed across Zhou Zhi's face.

Zhou Zhi originally thought that a middle-aged scribe would say 70 to 80 percent!

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged scribe only gave a low figure of fifty percent.

This was somewhat beyond Zhou Zhi's expectation.

Because, in Zhou Zhi's own opinion, the feasibility of what Yuan Ziming and others mentioned is at least 60%.

The middle-aged scribe shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is already very feasible."

"This is because the three families are forced by the situation and have to do their best to help the prince."

"If the three of them didn't fully support the prince, the feasibility of this would be even lower."

After hearing the middle-aged scribe's words, Zhou Zhi frowned and was silent for a moment, then sighed, "This is what I am most hesitant about right now."

, "Now, after the Bolingcui family was exterminated and the wealthy families in the four northern states were liquidated, these wealthy families have been forced by the situation and will no longer be able to do anything more than three points."

"Otherwise, they all know what kind of situation they will face next."

"This opportunity is rare."

"But judging from your intentions, this king seems not to be optimistic about this matter."

Zhou Zhi said and looked at the middle-aged scribe.

The middle-aged scribe understood what Zhou Zhi meant.

Normally, if you want to get the support of these seven wealthy families, you must have enough interests involved.

These aristocratic wealthy families are all masters who don't let go of the eagle when they see the rabbit.

Even if there are enough interests involved, these wealthy families will only contribute a third of their efforts, not their full strength.

But now, due to the situation, these wealthy families have no choice but to use their full strength.

This is indeed a rare opportunity to get the full support of these wealthy families, but it is also a rare risk!

The middle-aged scribe looked at Zhou Zhi who was sitting on the throne, and said with a cautious face: "Your Majesty, this kind of thing is not trivial. If there is anything wrong, it will be an abyss."

"Now, the emperor has first eliminated the general Wu family's party, and then quelled the rebellion in the four northern states. He also annihilated the nine Boling Cui families, one of the seven aristocratic families."

"It can be said that the emperor's power has reached its peak, and it is completely different from what it was before."

"What the eldest son of the Yuan family said to the prince can only explain the feasibility of this kind of thing, but cannot explain anything else."

"Let's not talk about whether the prince can succeed. Even if the prince succeeds, has the prince thought about how to clean up the mess?"

"Can the prince suppress wealthy families like the Yuan family?"

"Lu Bu and Cao Zhengchun, how will the prince deal with them then?"

The middle-aged scribe asked Zhou Zhi, who was in charge, one after another.

As the think tank and right-hand man under Zhou Zhi, the middle-aged scribe is naturally not an ordinary person, and he definitely sees things with a thorough understanding.

In the opinion of the middle-aged scribe, let alone whether this matter can be successful, even the mess will be difficult to deal with.

If we don't do it right, it will cause turmoil in all directions.

What's more, the middle-aged scribes are not optimistic about this matter and feel that there is little hope.

Facing the middle-aged scribe's three consecutive questions, Zhou Zhi showed a faint smile: "Isn't this you the king?"

"I know that you have a deep chest, unparalleled resourcefulness, and the talent of a prime minister."

"With you Ji Wusheng advising me, my chance of winning will definitely increase by 30%."

"As for the endgame, I believe that this should not prevent you from making a living."

Zhou Zhi looked at the middle-aged scribe with a smile and said.

Zhou Zhi knew best the abilities of his right-hand man.

With this think tank under his command to make suggestions, Zhou Zhi dared to say that based on what Yuan Ziming and others discussed, the chance of winning could be increased by 30%.

When the middle-aged scribe heard this, he sighed helplessly.

It seems that the prince has made a decision in his heart.

Too.

The supreme artifact, who can not be moved by it!

Who doesn't want to wake up and seize the power of the world, and lie drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman?

Especially those who are from the royal family, they seem to have a certain innate obsession with the supreme artifact.

"The prince has praised me so highly. I, Ji Wusheng, am just a scholar. I cannot afford such praise from the prince."

"However, whenever the prince needs something, I, Ji Wusheng, will do my best to help the prince."

The middle-aged scribe said with cupped hands.

"Okay, Ji Wusheng, your words are enough."

"Don't worry, I will give you a chance to show off what you have learned."

Zhou Zhi nodded with satisfaction at the middle-aged scribe's words.

…

In the hall of a mansion.

Yuan Ziming, Zheng Wangzhi, and Fan Shaohe sat opposite each other.

"Ziming, what do you think our Highness, the King of Shu, will choose?" After sitting down, Zheng Wangzhi looked at Yuan Ziming and asked.

Yuan Ziming smiled slightly; "Don't Wangzhi already have the answer in his heart? Why bother asking me."

"Since we were able to walk out of the Prince of Shu's Mansion safely and unharmed, it has already explained the choice of our Prince of Shu."

Yuan Ziming glanced at Zheng Wangzhi and said.

Hearing this, Zheng Wangzhi also smiled and nodded; "Indeed, I thought it would take some means to win over the King of Shu, but I didn't expect it to be so easy."

"The human heart!"

"The most difficult thing to grasp is the human heart, but the easiest thing to conquer is the human heart."

Zheng Wangzhi sighed with a face.

Fan Shaohe, who was standing next to him, glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "You two should stop being so showy. Isn't King Shu's attitude expected by us?"

"Now let's think about how to play the next game of chess. If you make one mistake, you will lose everything."

"If we lose this game, we will follow Cui Songshan's footsteps."

Fan Shaohe said with a serious face.

Cui Songshan?

"Pity."

"I think back then, the four of us were discussing the chess game and giving advice. Unexpectedly, he was the first to be eliminated."

When Yuan Ziming and Zheng Wangzhi heard this, they both sighed with emotion.

However, both of them also put away their flashiness and looked serious.

Both Yuan Ziming and Zheng Wangzhi knew that Fan Shaohe was right. One wrong move in this game of chess could lead to them following in Cui Songshan's footsteps.

Therefore, they have to take this seriously.

"Shaohe, where do you think the most important fulcrum is in this game of chess?"

Yuan Ziming looked at Fan Shaohe.

Fan Shaohe's eyes flickered and he softly uttered a few words: "Cao Zhengchun and Lu Bu."

"As long as we move these two people away, it will be much easier to deal with the one in the palace."

Yuan Ziming nodded.

really.

As long as Cao Zhengchun and Lu Bu are mobilized, it will definitely be much easier for them to deal with the one in the palace.

Now that Lu Bu is still outside, only Cao Zhengchun is left.

As long as Cao Zhengchun is kept outside, half the game will be won.

"Don't forget, there is also the person from the Zongren Mansion."

Zheng Wangzhi glanced at Yuan Ziming and Fan Shaohe before speaking.

…

late at night.

Zheng Wangzhi and Fan Shaohe had already left.

Yuan Ziming sat at the main seat in the hall, holding a cup of tea in his hand and taking a sip, as if waiting for someone.

soon.

A figure walked into the hall.

"coming."

"sit down!"

Yuan Ziming glanced at the visitor, took a sip of tea and said.

"No."

"Eldest Master, if you have anything to say, just say it directly!"

"Your Majesty has been operating in Shu for a long time, and I can't stay here much longer."

Ji Wusheng shook his head and said.

That's right, the person who came was none other than the middle-aged scribe Ji Wusheng who was next to King Zhou Zhi of Shu.

Perhaps Zhou Zhi never thought that the think tank around him, whom he regarded as his right-hand man, would quietly meet Yuan Ziming, the eldest son of the Yuan family, late at night.

"how?"

"After staying with the King of Shu for a few years, I became estranged from the eldest son."

"After all, you are both a disciple of my Yuan family, so you won't be able to get along with an eldest son like me!"

Yuan Ziming put down his teacup, glanced at Ji Wusheng and said calmly.

When Ji Wusheng heard this, he hesitated for a moment and had to sit down.

In any case, Ji Wusheng is a disciple of the Yuan family, and his achievements today are closely related to the Yuan family.

This is something he has to admit.

Seeing Ji Wusheng sit down, Yuan Ziming said, "It's nothing serious if I ask you to come."

"What choice the King of Shu will make, even if you don't tell us, we all know in our hearts."

"The reason why I let you come to King Shu in the first place is to show you what you have learned and have a good future."

"Now is the opportunity for you to show off what you have learned. You must seize it and assist King Shu properly."

"It's not in vain that my Yuan family has cultivated you."

Yuan Ziming glanced at Ji Wusheng and said calmly.

Although Yuan Ziming's words seemed to be asking Ji Wusheng to assist the King of Shu, in fact they were secretly reminding Ji Wusheng.

Don't forget that you Ji Wusheng is a disciple of my Yuan family.

When Ji Wusheng heard what Yuan Ziming said, his expression didn't change much. He glanced at Yuan Ziming calmly and said, "You don't need to remind me, eldest son, I know that I am a disciple of the Yuan family."

"But, this doesn't mean that I owe the Yuan family anything."

"I understand what the eldest master means, I will take my leave first."

After Ji Wusheng finished speaking, he stood up and left directly.

Yuan Ziming was left alone with his eyes flashing.
